Music Lessons in Higley, AZ

Instruments: Flute Harp Recorder Piccolo

The advantages of private lessons over in-class tuition are legion. All children learn differently, no matter how old, and if I can recognize the student's specific needs - be it confidence, focus, a goal - the classes can be tailored to meet individual needs. Another advantage is rate of progress. In class the faster learners can lose interest as the slower struggle to keep up. All can arrive at the destination but not all take the same path. Read More

The most important thing for me is to see my students could find their favorite pieces and develop a passion for music, that's the basis for them to progress at their pace. Also, I will help to set up weekly goals for my students, to encourage them to arrange their practice. So during that process, they will recognize the importance of accomplishments and encouragements to keep their passion for music, to desire to learn more and make more progress on the path.

Instruments: Guitar

For beginning students, I would like to start with knowing exactly where they are at with guitar; how to hold it, how to tune it, how strum it.

With that, I would like to get to know the student and understand what the student wants out of the lessons; what they like to listen to, what they want to learn, what is difficult for them, etc. Read More
